IPv4 address market takes off...

IPv4 address market takes off...  It took a little longer than the IPv6 advocates predicted, but it looks like it's finally happening – unused IPv4 addresses are getting so scarce that companies are willing to pay good money for them.  Willing buyers, willing sellers, and a little exchange of cash ... and you've got a market!

This is exactly the sort of thing...

This is exactly the sort of thing ... that led to the NSA abuses that Snowden revealed.  This time it's in the area of computer security, and may well lead to less secure computers for all of us.

Government: is there anything it can't screw up?
